Spotlight on Flickr user Deirdre Jean

Flickr user Deirdre Jean has an amazing assortment of cupcakes in her account.

I discovered her when looking up skull cupcakes (post TK) and found this one, which she labeled "Cupcake of the Crystal Skull (Very Sexy Lowfat Vanilla with Carmelized Sugar):"

She wrote:

The bigger the garnish, the closer to god. :) I was trying to make a "cupcake of the crystal skull", but it was REALLY hard to work with the molten sugar. I was unable to make it skull-like.

Recipe for cupcake & frosting come from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, recipe for sugar garnish from Martha Stewart Baking Handbook.
